Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8801507A1] A method whereby units of red blood cells, derived from units of blood which may contain viruses such as HTLV-III, the causative agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), may be treated with a solution which contains approximately 0.13 percent sodium chlorite and 1.26 percent lactic acid diluted with a solution of approximately 0.9 percent sodium chloride (normal saline). This chemical treatment will inactivate the HTLV-III virus, as well as other viruses. The units of red blood cells are then washed with normal saline. The units of red blood cells are now safe for transfusion. This chemical treatment will not affect the function of the red blood cells.
